"Squad leader, you have worked hard, after I read the plan. Make an appointment to meet and have a good chat face-to-face. Lin Dong said with a smile.

Gu Xiaoyu said: "Well, that's the best." Okay, then I won't talk to you more, you can rest early. ”

"Okay, bye-bye."

Lin Dong hung up the phone, returned to his room, washed up and went to sleep.

The next morning, he slept until nearly eight o'clock in the morning, and did not wake up until the harsh sun shone on his face.

"Mom, why don't you call me." Lin Dong heard his mother busy working in the kitchen outside, and said while getting dressed.

Mother Lin said: "It's nothing, what's wrong with letting you sleep well." When you wake up, come to eat, and keep it in the pot for you. I fried the leftover dumplings from yesterday in oil, as well as jade and rice porridge. ”

Lin Dong entered the kitchen, and when he opened the lid of the pot, he saw fried oily dumplings, which made people drool when they smelled. He finished the fried dumplings and drank a bowl of cornmeal porridge, and then put down the rice bowl with satisfaction. Mother Lin saw that her son was so happy to eat, and she was also happy on the side.

"Mom, I have to leave quickly, my aunt should be here when I'm late." Lin Dong said with a smile.

Mother Lin said: "Son, now that it's the New Year, how can you solve it for lunch?" ”

Lin Dong smiled: "Mom, don't worry about this, a person as old as your son, you can't find a meal."

Lin Dong wore a padded jacket sewn by his mother, got into the car, and drove out. When he drove to the door of Liu Dahai's house, Liu Dahai happened to be strolling around the door with a rice bowl, saw his car, and beckoned Lin Dong to stop.

Lin Dong got out of the car and asked, "Uncle Dahai, what's wrong?" ”

Liu Dahai said: "Dongzi, where are you going?" ”

Lin Dong said: "I'm going to the town, what's wrong?" ”

Liu Dahai said "oh", "Be careful of Wang Guoshan, father and son, they are not righteous and bright people." They can't beat you, but they are definitely brave enough to do this thing of slashing on your car, stabbing twice, throwing dung or something. You have to be on guard! ”

Lin Dong handed a cigarette to Liu Dahai, "Uncle Dahai, I know." Then I'll leave if it's okay. ”

Liu Dahai waved his hand, "Okay, you go get busy." ”

Looking at Lin Dong's distant Daben, Liu Dahai wondered in his heart, when can I also take this car around the village, thinking that as long as he and my daughter Liu Zhier become Lin Dong's daughter-in-law, then Lin Dong is my son-in-law, and the son-in-law is mine.

Lin Dong drove to the town, he remembered Liu Dahai's advice in his heart, be careful of the Wang family's father and son, and wanted to park the car? Originally, Qiu Weijia's family was the best choice, but Qiu Weijia's family went to her father-in-law's house. The door of Luo Hengliang's house is too narrow, and the car can't drive in at all, if it stops at the door of his house, it will be difficult under the noses of the Wang family father and son, and Paul Hengliang is not careful, and he doesn't look at it, giving the Wang family and his son an opportunity.

Lin Dong thought about it for a while, and thought about a place, the Great Temple!

Now is the most quiet time in the big temple, and no one goes to incense during the New Year, and the father and son of the Wang family want to break their brains, and they will not think that Lin Dong will park the car in that place. Lin Dong then drove to the big temple. When he got there, he found that the gate of the big temple was too narrow for the car to drive in, so he had to park the car at the door.

After parking the car, Lin Dong got out of the car and stopped in front of the big temple for dozens of seconds, hesitated, or decided to go in and have a look, and talk to the old monk here.

After entering the door, I couldn't even see anyone, but I felt that the big temple was even colder. Although the sunlight is very good, it can't penetrate the layers of branches and leaves, so compared with the outside, although there is only a wall apart, the temperature is several degrees lower. If it's summer, it's definitely a great place to escape the heat. …,

Lin Dong walked forward, not meeting a single pilgrim along the way. Unconsciously came to the front of the main hall, and there was an old monk with short gray hair sweeping the floor in the square at the entrance of the main hall.

"Master, Happy New Year!"

Lin Dong smiled and stepped forward to say hello.

The old monk stopped what he was doing, put his palms together, and bowed to Lin Dong, "Donor, my Buddha is merciful, and the old monk wishes you good health and longevity." ”

Lin Dong said: "Thank you, thank you." ”

The old monk asked, "Donor, are you here to offer incense today?" If so, then please go back. The main hall is closed to the public today. A few days ago, there were too many pilgrims who came to offer incense, and the temple needed to rest and recuperate, especially the main hall, so it was not open to the public for the time being. ”

Lin Dong shook his head, "Master, you misunderstood, I didn't come to offer incense. I'm just here to take a look and learn about the history of our temple. ”

The old monk smiled, "If I don't listen to your accent, I'm really not sure that you are a local." Why would the benefactor be interested in the temple? Lao Gu has been a monk here for decades, and he has always only come to burn incense and worship Buddha, but no one has ever asked about the origin and history of this temple. I look at the temperament and appearance of the donor, which is very different from the local villagers. ”

Lin Dong said with a smile: "Master, that's the case, I'm away all the year round, a few years ago I studied outside, and I worked outside for the past two years, so I don't have much time at home all year round, which may look a little different, but I am indeed a local, and my home is in Liulinzhuang." ”

The old monk nodded, "Donor, I remember, you came on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month." ”

Lin Dong smiled: "Master has a good memory, I did come that day." I used to take it for granted, so I didn't think there was anything good about our big temple, but after I came in that day, I found out that our big temple was different. Look at these tall and towering ancient trees in the temple, I think some of them are hundreds of years old. ”

The old monk said: "Donor, among these trees, the youngest is 300 years old, and the largest is more than 1,200 years old. When he was young, he also planted a few trees in the temple, but because the sunlight and water were occupied by these ancient trees, none of the saplings survived. Lao Wei was too stubborn at that time, and after one wave of saplings died, another wave was planted, hehe, not a single tree was planted in ten years. ”

Lin Dong saw that although the old monk's hair was gray, but his skin looked very smooth and shiny, he felt strange in his heart, and planned to ask him for some health preservation, but when he saw the ancient tree in front of him, he suddenly noticed an abnormality in his heart, and asked: "Master, these trees in our temple are all relatively common trees, it is winter now, and these trees outside have long since lost a leaf, why are the trees here still flourishing?" It's really weird. ”

The old monk was hooked by Lin Dong to talk about sex, and said with a smile: "Everyone has been accustomed to it over the years, but it's not strange, you have not asked this question for many years." Donor, if you want to know why, follow the old man. ”

The old monk dragged his broom to the back of the main hall and led Lin Dong towards a dilapidated temple. At a distance of almost 100 meters, Lin Dong saw the smoke wafting out of the dilapidated temple in front of him, and thought to himself, isn't no one allowed to burn incense today, where did the smoke come from?

Just when Lin Dong was wondering, the old monk had already led him to the door of the dilapidated temple, pushed the door open, and entered.

When I went inside, I saw that there was a well in the dilapidated temple, and the smoke I saw was actually water vapor, and the water vapor came out of the well in front of me. Aside from this steaming well, there is nothing special about this temple. …,

Lin Dong was shocked in his heart, and probably concluded that the mystery was in this well.

The old monk pointed to the well and said, "Donor, have you seen it?" ”

Lin Dong was even more puzzled, "Master, could it be that the groundwater under our temple is a natural hot spring?" ”

The old monk nodded with a smile, "You're right. The ancient trees in the temple are at least 300 years old, so they are deeply rooted, so they can draw water and heat from the underground hot springs, and I think this is the reason why the ancient trees in the temple are evergreen all year round. Even the monks in our temple have been touched by the blessings of this well, look at my skin. ”

The old monk patted his face and stretched out his hand again, "We wash our faces and hands with water from this well all year round, so the skin on our hands and face looks at least twenty years younger than the skin in other places. ”

Lin Dong's heart was shocked, oh my God, there is such a miraculous well hidden in this ancient temple, which can not only make the trees evergreen, but also delay aging and moisturize the skin.

The old monk said: "We use the water from the well to cook and eat, and all diseases will not invade." In my 50 years of being a monk, I only had a cold in my first year here, and I didn't get sick at all these years. ”

Lin Dong said: "My mother often tells me that the masters in the big temple are all old immortals, and they can live for more than 100 years, so it seems that it must be the reason for drinking the water in this well." ”

The old monk said: "What the donor said is right. In the eyes of outsiders, this is just an inconspicuous ruined temple in the countryside, but if they know the history of the temple, hehe, they must look at the temple differently. ”

Lin Dong was already interested in exploring the origin of the ancient temple, and hurriedly asked, "Please explain to the master." ”

The old monk pointed to the well, "Donor, look at what words are engraved on the side of this well." ”

Lin Dong squatted down next to the well and took a closer look at the words engraved on the side of the well.

The body of this well is hollowed out of a stone that he does not know, and when he touches it, it is warm and smooth, and the feel is much better than the local bluestone in Huaicheng County. The words engraved on the edge of the well were already a little blurry, Lin Dong reached out and touched it, the font of the words engraved on it was Lishu, which was far from the popular simplified characters, and he couldn't recognize any of them.!
